Report Browser contains features and layout panels for building extraction models and exporting extracted data.
There are two main panels in a Report Browser panel:
Model Layout panel
Data Export Settings panel
The Model layout panel displays the layout of your report model or extraction template. It contains data regions and fields built according to a custom extraction logic.
You can add and delete regions and fields, edit their properties, and export data directly to an excel sheet, a CSV file, or a database table using the options available in this window.
In the figure below, you can see an extraction model that has a hierarchical structure. This model contains a single instance region (Account_Info) as well as collection regions (Orders_Info and Order_Details).
There are icons placed at the top of the Model Layout panel. These icons enable you to perform various tasks. A brief description for each of these icons is given in the table below:
Add Single Instance Data Region

Add Collection Data Region

Create New Export Setting and Run (to Excel)

Options provided in the Data Export Settings panel enable users to export data to an Excel sheet, a CSV file, or a database table. The exported data can then be used in various flow documents (a dataflow, a workflow, or a subflow).
